This is a subject which I am sure has been aired more than once, but I cannot find it by Searching the forum
I want to open a BAk file but NWC says it does not recognise the file type BAK - although NWC created it

<File><Open Backup....>

After NWC opens and I get the message that NWC does not recognise it, I cannot find a reference to Open Backup. Clicking om <File> only gives the normal Open option which brings me back to "NWC does not recognise"
I am using XP

The other option is going through the file menu and changing the name of the file from e.g, MySong.nwc.bak to MySong1.nwc then open it normally.
You
will find it as of NWC 2.1 See: Open Backup Command (http://ntworthy.com/nwc2/help/MNU_FILEBACKUPS.htm)
For NWC 2.0:
If you have a file named
MySong.nwc.bak, chances are that you will have a file named
MySong.nwc. You will need to delete or rename
MySong.nwc before you can rename
MySong.nwc.bak to it. It is a bit easier to rename
MySong.nwc.bak to
MySong 01.nwc
Whilst I can re-name files I cannot alter the suffix .BAK to .nwc
I have NWC V 2.0
Having downloaded the NWC 21 upgrade it tells me that either NWC 2 is not installed or has been altered!
NWC 2 runs as usual and I am not aware of how I can have altered it.
Any ideas?
Tony
I suspect that you need to show file extensions in Windows Explorer

Rick,
Spot On!
I unchecked 'Hide File Extensions' (I did not know that I had this checked)and can now open BAK files.
Many thanks!!
